Mountain forest air, the Os river flowing from the slopes of the Black Forest create something unique climate for which this amazing resort town is famous.

Baden-Baden arose thanks to its healing springs, which were known to the ancient Romans. It was they who founded the settlement Aqua Aurelia here 2000 years ago, where legionnaires and colonists were treated. Under the emperor Caracalla in the 3rd century BC, luxurious baths were built here, named after him. The ruins of these baths are open to the public and lovers of antiquity can enjoy visiting this historical place.

Everything is unique in Baden-Baden - its history, architecture, healing springs, casinos and even the name. Until the 1930s the city was simply called Baden, but in life it was often called Baden in Baden, referring to its location in the federal state of Baden - this is how the double name appeared.

There are also interesting moments in the history of the city. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the settlement of Aqua Aurelia was abandoned, gradually turned into ruins and was revived only in 1112 as the residence of the Margraves of Baden. In the 17th century, Baden-Baden was badly damaged, but revived again thanks to French refugees who fled here from the French Revolution.

And in the second half of the 18th century, Baden-Baden began to be called the summer capital of Europe. And all thanks to the casino manager Jacques Benazet. In 1824, the German architect Friedrich Weinbrenner built the Kurhaus, which is now the site of Germany's oldest and world-famous casino. To "promote" his institution, Jacques Benazet invited a group of the most famous journalists and writers of the time, including Victor Hugo. Of the many enthusiastic phrases spoken by famous guests, one is still alive: "There are two capitals in Europe. Paris in winter, Baden-Baden in summer."

At the request of the founder of the casino, Jacques Benazier, French architects and artists designed gambling halls on the model of French royal castles. The splendid Louis XVI style decoration of white marble, gold and silk has been perfectly preserved to this day and impresses with its mysterious atmosphere. There are huge paintings on the walls, high ceilings are decorated with painted plafonds. The halls are brightly lit with multi-tiered bronze chandeliers.

Financial documents from that period report that revenues from gambling establishments were directed to the city baths development fund. Significant amounts from the casino were received by the city budget, with this money at the beginning of the 19th century a Railway and a gas factory to gaslight the city and casino.

The history of the city is closely connected with Russia. Without this fashionable kurot, it is impossible to imagine the life of the Russian bohemians of the 19th century. Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev visited Baden-Baden, Gogol worked here on the first volume of Dead Souls, he published the story Taras Bulba in the newspaper Europe. Russian nobles bought mansions here and traveled here every year as a dacha. The guides show the villas of Gagarin, Menshikov, the tree near which Dostoevsky's "player" shot himself. The poets Zhukovsky and Vyazemsky ended their life here...

It is rightfully considered one of the most unique halls in the world, where the best artists and musicians perform today.

The author of the project of the Palais des Festivals was the famous Viennese architect Wilhelm Holzbauer. The audacity of the decision was in the transformation of the former railway station into an ensemble of theater buildings. The neoclassical station building turned into a theater foyer, the station platforms turned into an auditorium built of glass and marble in the shape of a huge cube, which is located behind the former station building. The Festspielhaus is famous for its excellent acoustics, which were calculated by the famous Munich physicist Karlheinz Müller. Russian ball. To the solemn sounds of Tchaikovsky's polonaise, young Russian women in white dresses and their gentlemen, German youths in black tailcoats, entered the hall. The opening ceremony of the Ball was attended by the prima ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater S. Lunkina, who brilliantly performed "Russian Dance".

The ball lasted all night. The guests danced waltzes and gallops to music performed by the Baden-Baden Symphony Orchestra under the baton of People's Artist of Russia Maxim Fedotov. And then a jazz orchestra led by the legendary Georgy Garanyan opened a parade of foxtrots, cha-cha-cha, rumba and other modern dances. The dance program of the Ball was led by the head of the "Imperial Russian Ballet" Gediminas Taranda.

In October 2007, the revived Russian Ball was held for the second time in the casino in the Benazé hall, which was attended by representatives of the Russian elite.
